Product Description
Tricarballylic acid is a conjugate acid of three-carbon allyl ester and is a competitive inhibitor of aconitate hydratase with Ki of 0.52 mM.
Tricarballylic acid (CAS 99-14-9) is a tricarboxylic acid with molecular formula C₆H₈O₆ and molecular weight 176.12 g/mol. It appears as a white to almost white crystalline powder with a melting point of 156-161°C. The compound is soluble in water (500 mg/mL at 18°C), methanol, and slightly soluble in ether. Tricarballylic acid is also known as 1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid. It is a small biomimetic ligand used as a building block in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks. The compound is also used as an alternative to DMDHEU (formaldehyde-releasing cross-linking agent). It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tricarboxylic acids and derivatives.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Tricarballylic acid does not have a specific pharmacological target. It is a tricarboxylic acid used primarily as a chemical building block and ligand. The compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tricarboxylic acids and derivatives, which are carboxylic acids containing exactly three carboxyl groups. It is used as an alternative to DMDHEU (formaldehyde-releasing cross-linking agent) in industrial applications. In biological systems, tricarballylic acid may interact with metal ions and serve as a chelator or ligand. Its role as a small biomimetic ligand suggests potential applications in coordination chemistry and materials science rather than pharmacology.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Tricarballylic acid is used as a small biomimetic ligand and building block in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks. It is a tricarboxylic acid with three carboxyl groups. The compound is also used as an alternative to DMDHEU (formaldehyde-releasing cross-linking agent). Its in vitro activity is primarily related to its chemical properties as a polycarboxylic acid rather than specific biological effects. The compound may be used in biochemical studies as a metal chelator or as a reference compound for tricarboxylic acid metabolism. It is a white to almost white crystalline powder with good solubility in water and methanol.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Tricarballylic acid is not used as a therapeutic agent. It is primarily an industrial chemical and research reagent used as a building block in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks and as an alternative to formaldehyde-releasing cross-linking agents. The compound is also known as 1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid. In biological systems, it may be metabolized through tricarboxylic acid pathways. However, detailed in vivo pharmacokinetic and toxicological data for Tricarballylic acid are not extensively reported. The compound is intended for research and industrial use only.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cellular) assays are not applicable to Tricarballylic acid, as it is primarily a chemical building block and ligand rather than a bioactive compound. However, the compound may be used as a ligand in coordination chemistry studies. Metal-binding assays can be performed by incubating Tricarballylic acid with metal ions such as Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, or Zn²⁺ in buffer solutions, followed by measurement of complex formation using spectroscopic methods (UV-Vis, fluorescence) or potentiometric titration. The compound's ability to form metal-organic frameworks is of interest in materials science. These assays help characterize the compound's coordination chemistry and metal-binding properties.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular experiments with Tricarballylic acid are not typically performed for pharmacological evaluation, as the compound is primarily a chemical building block and ligand. However, cellular assays may be conducted to assess its cytotoxicity or effects on cellular metabolism. Cell lines such as hepatocytes or fibroblasts may be treated with varying concentrations of Tricarballylic acid, and cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. The compound's effects on cellular metal homeostasis or tricarboxylic acid metabolism may also be investigated. The compound is a white to almost white crystalline powder and is soluble in water and methanol. Cells are maintained at 37°C in 5% CO₂ with appropriate media supplements.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with Tricarballylic acid are not typically performed for therapeutic development, as the compound is primarily an industrial chemical and research reagent. However, toxicological studies may be conducted to assess its safety for industrial use. Rodents or other animals are administered Tricarballylic acid via oral or other routes at various doses. Parameters assessed include body weight, organ weights, histopathological examination, and clinical signs of toxicity. The compound is also used as an alternative to formaldehyde-releasing cross-linking agents, and its safety profile may be relevant to industrial applications. Further toxicological studies may be required for regulatory approval.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of Tricarballylic acid are not extensively characterized. The compound has molecular formula C₆H₈O₆ and molecular weight 176.12 g/mol. It appears as a white to almost white crystalline powder with a melting point of 156-161°C. Solubility: soluble in water (500 mg/mL at 18°C), methanol, and slightly soluble in ether. Purity: ≥97%. As a small polar molecule with three carboxyl groups, it is expected to have limited membrane permeability and is primarily excreted in urine. Storage: follow manufacturer's guidelines.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological information for Tricarballylic acid indicates that it has a GHS signal word of "Warning". The compound appears as a white to almost white crystalline powder. Standard safety precautions for handling chemicals apply, including use of personal protective equipment (gloves, safety goggles, lab coat) and working in a well-ventilated area. The compound may cause skin, eye, or respiratory irritation at high concentrations. Purity: ≥97%. Storage: follow manufacturer's guidelines.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
